Real estate school in Colorado

5 real estate programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

3 schools offer these real estate programs, and Colorado has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 3 of these 5 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Real estate agents and brokers help clients buy, sell and rent properties. Every state requires a license: usually you must be 18 or older, have a high school diploma or equivalent, complete prelicensing courses and pass an exam. A broker's license takes years as a licensed agent and more training, and a license usually doesn't carry over to another state.¹

In Colorado, all 5 programs take students without a high school diploma.

By kind, the 5 programs here are real estate certificate or course (4 programs) and real estate license course (pre-licensing, 1 program).

How to pay for real estate classes in Colorado

WIOA funding can pay for real estate classes in Colorado

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for real estate classes

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.⁶⁷

Where the Colorado real estate program numbers come from

Which Colorado real estate programs are on this list?

These are the real estate programs Colorado approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Colorado offers.

How the prices and results of Colorado real estate programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Colorado figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Colorado among the states with "known data quality concerns".¹⁰ The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
